Red shoes no knickers, as MIL has been known to say out loud in public.

I think it might look a bit too try hard.

Black shoes with a red dress. I love red shoes, but never ever with a red dress.

Meglet · 25/10/2012 20:21

...no pants.

Sleepwhenidie · 25/10/2012 20:30

I think black tights with black shoes, but nude legs/tights with red shoes..and FWIW, red shoes with red dress better than black shoes Smile

MaudTheGardenTheBlackBatNight · 25/10/2012 20:33

Well, I'd wear black tights and red shoes with a red dress.

I've been debating this (in my own head Hmm) all week. Still not sure.

Was thinking seamed stockings, red dress &red shoes. but do the shoes and dress need to be the same shade? Haven't got black shoes I can stand about / dnace in all night. t'other thing is I always wear red lippy...

MrsBucketxx · 25/10/2012 20:38

nude tights if you want red shoes. black with black iykwim.

AuntLucyInPeru · 25/10/2012 20:39

I do it. Red crocodile skin wedges, no less Grin

notMarlene · 25/10/2012 20:40

Yeah, but do the dress and shoes need to be the same(ish) shade?

WhoNickedMyName · 25/10/2012 20:44

The dress and shoes are the same shade of red.

Damn, I can't make up my mind and was hoping for a unanimous yes or no Grin

Do it do it so it with no knickers-

Sleepwhenidie · 25/10/2012 20:45

Red shoes and dress definitely have to be the same shade, or close enough that you can't see any difference.

notMarlene · 25/10/2012 20:45

A clear YES from me. Nude would be better, black is fine.

In my case the shoes are a good bit darker than the dress Confused

Post pics?

In our family the cry is "red hat, no knickers".

Dollydowser · 25/10/2012 23:06

I'm with Maud, its red hat no knickers.

QuickLookBusy · 25/10/2012 23:11

Whenever I see red shoes I think of the Wizard of Oz.

KatoPotato · 25/10/2012 23:20

Red shoes black tights = Minnie Mouse.

TapselteerieO · 26/10/2012 00:04

Is it not "all fur coat and nae knickers" ?

No idea about shoes, would have to see the dress/shoes to decide.
